Well, good news for the lovey doveys this year is that Shiv Sena is busy doing more important stuff like vandalizing Shah Rukh Khan’s poster, trying to break in theatres etc so probably one can expect a peaceful Valentines Day this year. Or is there another repeat of pink chaddi or a hug karo pub bharo campaign round the corner?
Anyways, this post is for those who wait for 14th February every year to tell their girlfriends / boy friends / spouse how much they love and care. I was generally browsing through the net to catch on the Valentines Day buzz this year. Frankly the prospect of following any of these Valentines Day ideas and thinking of the reactions from my partner thereafter itself makes me laugh

Tennis star Sania Mirza recently called off her engagement with her fiancée on incompatibility grounds. I was in two minds. Whether to mentally congratulate Sania on her stand early on in her relation or be skeptical for I know of many young couples with zilch resilience. Presuming the reason is not the latter one I would say good call!
I have wanted to write an article on this subject from a long time. Thanks to the falling apart of couples all around me! Couples don’t seem to be blinking an eyelid before mentioning the dreaded D word. 7 year itch is no more than a misnomer; couples are parting ways as early as one year of their wedded life or as late as 20 years.

Now who wants to be perfect? We all do things that we get innate pleasure from but are either too embarrassed about our tastes or are not too comfortable disclosing our lowbrows. But who cares! It’s your life and you live it just once….
So today I decided to jot down few of the things I find intrinsic happiness in and I had absolute fun doing so…. Read more...
- I can indulge on a chocolate cake / pastry or doughnuts on a full stomach
- I love buying cheap clothes from Lajpat Nagar, Delhi more than any branded stuff
I am forgetting the author, but I recently read a book called ‘You are here’ which was basically a story of a girl and instances from her life. A simple read; no big deal.
Anyways, how things would have got simple and clearer just if we were able to see that tiny dot on the map of life. Well, no regrets but there are times I do feel if I could have taken a different course. If things would have been different, had I taken a different decision? I am sure it is an universal issue and most of us face the same dilemma as I at times face; just that the phrase “No regrets” sounds fancier Read more...
- When you are in a state of mind where you think all decisions you take cannot be wrong
- When you let complacency enter your style of work and attitude
- When you start to refuse to listen
- When you refute all justified objections
- When you spring to object on being criticized
That’s the time you need to realize probably you are or are on the brink of getting overconfident. You might think that you are the most open minded person but in reality it might not be so; because in your mind you have already stopped looking and listening for options. Read more...

There is a saying that men must work, and women must weep. For better or worse both sexes have both the options.
A man woman relationship is full of complexities. A great deal of the relationship lies below the surface,A lot of it depends on that something unspoken. Read more...
Giving up smoking is easy…I’ve done it hundreds of times. (Mark Twain)
Well, after Shahrukh Khan (SRK) the latest celebrity to swear quitting smoking is our Ghajini superstar Aamir Khan. Smoking has been a touchy subject when it comes to cinema fraternity. The stylized Rajnikanth was criticized for spoiling Tamil youth by glorifying smoking and drinking on screen. The health minister Ramadoss was very happy with Rajnikanth when he didn’t smoke onscreen for two of his blockbuster movies last year. Ramdoss’ request to celebrities to stop smoking onscreen invited ridicule and fury; while Amitabh Bacchan got upset and the director Mahesh Bhatt found it juvenile, the candid SRK voiced openly that he is not to be told what he should do and what he shouldn’t!

The bride hunting for my BIL has left me wondering about many a question about women in general. Don’t get me wrong here; I have high respect for ambitious ladies, who want to leave a mark. But I still feel that one needs to act according to the circumstances, prioritize and then take a call. Read more...
Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens.A good marriage must be created. In marriage the little things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold hands.
It is remembering to say “I love you” at least once a day.It is never going to sleep angry. It is at no time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should continue through the years.
It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives. It is standing together facing the world. It is forming a circle of love that gathers the whole family.It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy. It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways.
It is not looking for perfection in each other. It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humour. It is having the capacity to forgive and forget. It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow old. It is a common search for the good and the beautiful.
It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and the obligation is reciprocal. It is not only marrying the right partner; it is being the right partner.
